Let’s Bake: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Base:
- Preheat your oven to 176°C (350°F) and grease a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes until lightly golden. Let the cookie base cool completely.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate chips together until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Stir in the chopped cookies. Pour the filling over the cooled cookie base and press additional cookies around the sides, if desired.
3. Chill the Cheesecake:
- Refrigerate the cheesecake until it’s firm, ideally overnight. This will give the flavors time to develop and the cheesecake to set.
4. Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- Whip together the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake and garnish with mini chocolate chips or extra cookies.
What to Serve with Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake?
This indulgent dessert pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge, or even a fresh fruit compote for a contrasting flavor. It’s also divine served with a strong cup of coffee or espresso to balance out the richness.
Tips for Making the Perfect Cheesecake
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- Don’t skip the overnight chill: This cheesecake needs time to set and develop its flavors. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
- Cookie base must be cool: Make sure the cookie base is fully cooled before adding the cheesecake filling, or it will melt the filling.
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: If you’d like to freeze it, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Préparer la base de cookie :
- Préchauffez le four à 176°C. Beurrez un moule à charnière de 23 cm et tapissez le fond de papier sulfurisé.
- Mélangez le beurre et les sucres jusqu'à ce que le mélange soit léger et mousseux. Ajoutez l'œuf et l'extrait de vanille et mélangez bien.
- Dans un autre bol, mélangez la farine, le bicarbonate de soude, la levure chimique et le sel. Incorporez graduellement ce mélange sec à la préparation de beurre. Ajoutez les pépites de chocolat et mélangez.
- Pressez la pâte uniformément dans le moule préparé et faites cuire pendant 16-18 minutes. Laissez refroidir complètement.
- Préparer la garniture de cheesecake :
- Battez le fromage à la crème, le sucre, le cacao en poudre, la vanille et les pépites de chocolat fondues jusqu'à obtenir une texture lisse.
- Dans un bol séparé, fouettez la crème fraîche avec le sucre glace jusqu'à formation de pics fermes. Incorporez délicatement cette crème fouettée dans le mélange de fromage à la crème.
- Ajoutez les cookies hachés. Versez cette garniture sur la base de cookie refroidie et, si vous le souhaitez, décorez les côtés avec des cookies supplémentaires.
- Chill :
- Laissez reposer le cheesecake au réfrigérateur jusqu'à ce qu'il soit ferme, idéalement toute la nuit.
- Préparer la crème fouettée au chocolat :
- Fouettez ensemble la crème fraîche, le sucre glace, le cacao en poudre et l'extrait de vanille jusqu'à ce que des pics fermes se forment.
- Décorez le dessus du cheesecake avec cette crème fouettée et saupoudrez de pépites de chocolat miniatures si vous le souhaitez.
Notes
Ce cheesecake est parfait à préparer la veille pour laisser le temps à la garniture de bien prendre.
